The proceeds from the benefit will help support organizations involved in immigration rights, women’s health, and voter education/mobilization efforts.”
The concert will feature inspiring local folk, jazz, and bluegrass musicians, including:
Guitarists Rolly Brown, a national fingerpicking champion, and Mark Cosgrove, a national flatpicking champion and current member of the David Bromberg Band; Lambertville jazz singer and pianist Carol Heffler; New Hope-area singer and songwriter Deva Troy; a Philadelphia-based jazz band, The Ken Ulansey Ensemble, featuring jazz diva Phyllis Chapell; and Pineville singer/songwriter LisaBeth Weber.
